Just remembered, I drive so little these days, maybe 5 miles to the doctor. When my friends had their car stolen in the beginning of December I told them if they could take me to my appointments they could borrow my minvan until the end of January. Bonus, he is a contractor and has done some work on my house, win- win! ---

(I had done a search for an old thread that I had posted to, and this was one of the ones that came up.) ---

Brian, if you don’t mind me nosing I have a question. For how long have you displayed symptoms of the MS before you were diagnosed? ---

> [@BMalion](#): > > Not yet. I will ask my neurologist about it. You probably won’t get far with your neurologist. They want to give you drugs that cost lots of money, while this theory, even though it is not new, flies in the face of what they have been working on for years now. I’ll update the other thread shortly. I’m still rather emotional about it and it pisses me off the way the medical system treated my wife in Canada. ---

> [@An\_Gadai](#): > > Brian, if you don’t mind me nosing I have a question. For how long have you displayed symptoms of the MS before you were diagnosed? I now realize that I’ve had symptoms for 5 or 6 years. My serious symptoms started in 2009. The symptoms that finally caused the doctor to order the testing were in August. My diagnosis was October. ---
